Trailer for Director Vincent D'Onofrio's Billy The Kid Western THE KID with Ethan Hawke, Chris Pratt, and Dane DeHaan
You all know Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin in the Daredevil Marvel series, but he’s also a director, and he directed a new western called The Kid, which is inspired by the legendary outlaw Billy The Kid.
Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) plays Billy the Kid in the film, and Ethan Hawke plays Sheriff Pat Garrett who is hunting him down. The film tells the story of a young boy who witnesses Billy the Kid's encounter with the Sheriff.
Jake Schur plays the boy, and the rest of the cast includes Chris Pratt, Leila George, Adam Baldwin, Keith Jardine, Tait Fletcher, Jenny Gabrielle, and D'Onofrio, who also takes on the role of another Sheriff. The movie actually looks really good and this is the synopsis:
In this thrilling Western, a young boy, Rio (Jake Schur), is forced to go on the run across the American Southwest in a desperate attempt to save his sister (Leila George) from his villainous uncle (Chris Pratt). Along the way, he encounters Sheriff Pat Garrett (Ethan Hawke), on the hunt for the infamous outlaw Billy the Kid (Dane DeHaan). Rio finds himself increasingly entwined in the lives of these two legendary figures as the cat and mouse game of Billy the Kid’s final year of life plays out. Ultimately Rio is forced to choose which type of man he is going to become, the outlaw or the man of valor, and will use this self-realization in a final act to save his family.
The Kid will be released by Lionsgate on March 8th.
